Two people familiar with the situation tell the Associated Press that negotiating teams for NFL owners and players are in Minneapolis and expected to resume talks aimed at ending a lockout now in its fourth month.
There have been many signs that point to positive momentum from the NFL and the players for new football over the past week or so.

In the past three seasons, only 10 undrafted free agents logged five or more starts as rookies, half of them in 2010.
National Football League Players Association officials have informally told some individual team representatives that labor talks continue along a positive track and players should remain cautiously optimistic a deal could be reached in a matter of weeks.
So everyone thinks the NFL lockout will soon be over. I mean it's only a matter of time right?
Linebacker Keith Bulluck will be a free agent when the lockout ends, and he named three teams he would consider joining: The New York Giants, Detroit Lions and New England Patriots.
These are the new owners and player meetings that are now apparently moving faster than light speed with a great sense of politeness toward a collective bargaining agreement.
NFL owners and players are meeting Tuesday on Maryland's eastern shore in an effort to end the 91-day lockout as soon as possible, according to reports from NFL.com and ESPN.
